Send back fugitive killers of Bangabandhu

Speakers at a rally yesterday urged the heads of state and government of different countries to hand over the six fugitive killers of Father of the Nation Bangabandhu Sheikh Mujibur Rahman to Bangladesh.
They made the appeal at the rally on the National Press Club premises in the city organised by Bangabandhu Sangskritik Jote.
The Jote also formed a human chain in support of their demand.
Jote General Secretary and lawmaker Advocate Tarana Halim, Vice President actor Faruq, Joint General Secretary and spokesman Arun Sarkar Rana, filmmaker Abdul Haq Sabuj and Dhaka city convener Khorshed Alam Khasrus poke at the rally.
Tarana said artistes always speak in favour of justice, truth and beauty. “We urge the heads of states and governments wherever the fugitive killers of Bangabandhu have taken shelter to immediately hand them over to government.”
She hoped that the heads of state and government of foreign countries would play a supportive role in establishing justice in Bangladesh.
“They (foreign countries) will have to prove that they want a world free from crimes and terrorism through sending back the killers of Bangabandhu,” Tarana said.
She said they would submit memorandum to foreign missions in Dhaka and form human chain in front of the foreign missions apart from taking hunger strike programme in future in support of their demand.
Actor Faruq said they would expand their movement unless the killers are sent back through Interpol.
The fugitive killers are former Lt Col Khandaker Abdur Rashid, former majors SHBM Noor Chowdhury, Shariful Haque Dalim and Rashed Chowdhury, former captain Abdul Majed and Risaldar Moslehuddin. Five other convicts were hanged in January this year.
